Vermont city opts for new high school due to contamination
May 5, 2021 GMT
BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) The Burlington School Board has decided to pursue building a new high school due to chemical contamination found in the existing school.
The school board in Vermont’s largest city voted unanimously Tuesday to end efforts to remediate the existing building and instead construct a new school though the location has not yet been determined, WCAX-TV reported.
The contamination prompted school officials to close the school last year. Initially, students were educated from home. In March, the school moved into an empty Macy’s department store, which is now known as the Downtown Burlington High School.

Students who once shopped at a downtown mall in Burlington, Vermont, are now attending high school in the former Macy’s department store.
Think gleaming white tile floors and escalators whisking them to and from classes.
The Downtown Burlington High School opened about six months after school administrators closed the existing school, just under two miles away.
Toxic industrial chemicals known as PCBs were found in the building and soil during renovations.
That left students stuck at home learning remotely for much of the school year during the coronavirus pandemic.
